THE Republicans of the nation watch
with the deepest interest the senatorial
elections in the Republican states. In New
Hampshire the election of a senator to I'LL
the unexpired term caused by the death of
Senator Pike will soon be made, as well
as for the election Of senator for the full
term from the 18th of March next This will
probably be done, as the coming session Of
the fiftieth Congress will be the long one.
The contest among the leading Repub-
lcans of New Hampshire has been spirited
one. Some Of the press have indulged in uu-
necessary bitterness. The Republican party
has no ammunition TO spare, or strength
TO lose, by abusing its leaders. Its motto
should be harmony within the Republican
ranks. All questions of preferment Of one
man above another should be fairly settled
in Republican caucus. There is no better
rule than that the majority must rule in
any organization.
Our dispatches announce that ex-Secre-
tary William f. Chandler will probably re-
ceiye the nomination. If so, no Republican
should hesitate to make 1t unanimous. As
brave, aggressive political leader, and in
experience and knowledge of public affairs
and public men and loyalty to his party, he
has no superior.

railroad track, main line, laid in the United
States from Jan. ! to June /, 1887. to be 2, ,35l
miles, an addition of 7S7 miles since last
months report. This total has never before
the single exception of the year 1882. More
than halt the track thus far reported laid is To-
Gated as follows: Indian territory, 800 miles
Texas, 1856; Kansas, 262; Dakota, 2l2, making q
total in these four portions of the country of
1910 miles, while California has added l57

ENGLAND has acquired another most val
liable possession In the Mediterranean sea.
Commanding the natural entrance from the
Atlantic with Gibraltar, she will now con-
troll the Suez canal, the artificial entrance
to the Indian seas. by owning the Island OF
Cyprus. Russia may capture Constantine
pie and the Dardanelles, but, with Cyprus
fortified as England can and will fortify 1t,
the Russian fleets will be confined within
the narrow straits. The Island OF Cyprus
proved the most formidable barrier to the
advance OF the Turks on Europe, aul, 10
fact, held them In check until the Christian
nations could gather themselves together to
successfully combat the Crescent. Cypru'
is more valuable to England, as the GER
tainty dawns upon her statesmen that not
many years will pass before the Russian
will extend his sway to the Mediterranean.
Disraeli saw this when he made the secret
treaty by which Cyprus was secured, aud,
wise statesman as he was, prepared the
only possible method by which England
could retain the supremacy of the Mediter-
ranean and guard the Suez canal at the one
entrance as Alden guards 1t at the other.
Russia can now take Constantiuople with
out anything but formal protest from
England and an agreement to pay the Eng
lish holders Of Turkish bonds.

A Revolutionary Relic,

The committee having in special charge
the arrangements for the centennial cele-
irrational of Franklin aud Marshall Col
lege, Lancaster, June 1916, have issued an
invitation and programme which has the
charm of antiquity and novelty. The
paper on which It is printed is fine hand
made linen fabric, with rough edges of the
real kind, and no modern conceit or itnta
ton. y few hundred sheets OF this piplr
was found in one OF the lofts of the old
paper mill of j. NJ. Wilcox & Co near
Philadelphia, dismantled some time ago.
1t had lain there undiscovered during the
half century Of dlsuse into which mill and
machinery had fallen. These particular
sheets upon which the Franklin aud MIR
shall invitations are printed were made
during the revolution, to be used for the
continental currency of that period.

Coming From Canada Can Bring Teams
with Them.

Information has been received ct the
Treasury Department that It's recent circu-
lar preventing the free admission Of teams
of work animals for temporary use on the
frontier will seriously affect the immlgra-
tion Of farmers from adjacent Canadian
territory. 1t Is represented that the prac-
tice has been for such farmers desiring TO
settle In this country TO bond such OF their
teams and tackle as are necessary for break
ing the ground, erecting houses, planting,
&c; the farmers then return to Canada In
the fall to dispose OF their crops and prop
erty in that country, and subsequently
come back to the United States with their
families and effects as immigrants. AS
sistant Secretary Maynard has instructed
the collector Of customs ct st. Vincent,
Mimi, to discontinue the practice OF so
bonding their teams and vehicles on first
arrival, and In lieu thereof to allow persons
from Canada who produce satisfactory
proofs to show that they are bona flde i'm
migronts to bring with them when first ar
rivlng to take up farms their teams, tackle,
&c., free Of duty, and also on their return
from Canada with their families to admit
free Of duty their teams, tackle, &C., aud
thus accord them full privileges under the
law, the several arrivals in such cases belug
considered as continuous acts of immigra-
tfnn.

Wants A Railron,l.

Lincoln County has no railroad, but
it wants one. Everybody in the eoun-
ty is anxious to have railroad commu-
nication with the rest OF the world,
and all are willing to make fair terms
with any company which will lay
track through their country. That
county, one of the largest in the State,
endowed with the natural resources
which make prosperous section
under favorable conditions, is almost
bankrupt because the present cost
of transportation, consumes all the
profits which accrue from mining, or
agriculture. Let a railroad place the
Lincoln County miners within easy
reaching distance of markets and
supplies and, Immediately, activity,
and hopefulness will be seen, where,
for years there has been nothing but
stagnation and despair. In few years
the county will be in good financial
standing, the people will see something
to work for, and the most distant
corners of the State will receive indl.
rect benefits from the local increase of
prosperity. New forms of industry
will be discovered and hundreds of
men will come and go, where now the
only travel is that of poor men leaving
the place with their blankets on their
backs. Lawyers, doctors, merchants,
and miners will find employment;
permanent homes will be established
on heretofore desert tacts, and anti
railroad politicians will make a good
living fighting the cause of all this
prosperity. There are good mines in
that county, now valueless on account
of distance, which will be profitably
worked; money will begin 10 pass
from hand TO hand: Men will cease
making calculations as to the date of
absolute starvation, and will begin
computing the wealth they may ac-
quire in given time. The conditions
will be changed, people will easily adapt
themselves TO their new surround ings,
will forget the cause, and "A large nam.
Der will readily join in abuse of the
railroad, for the benefit o f a few design
